Cryptocoryne Wendtii Kompakt – Tissue Culture

Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium. Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.

Crypt Wendtii ‘Kompakt’ is an interesting variant of Crypt that remains pretty small. The smooth leaves can range from olive green to bronze color and stay more round compared to the usual longer leaves on other Crypts. This is considered a rare plant that isn’t commonly found in the aquarium trade. Cryptocoryne Wendtii Kompakt makes a great choice for beginner hobbyists due to its easy care and undemanding nature. It can be readily grown in the foreground to midground of a planted tank and will yield bushy, “compact” growth, hence its name.
